    WD40 to remove the goo left from price stickers on glass or plastic.

    Removable tape to write the date and name on things in those butter tubs that go in the freezer. (I'd lose the list suggested above!)

    I pour excess grease from frypan into aluminum cupcake holders so it doesn't go down the drain.
    I also use cupcake holders for measuring ingredients in a recipe so it is all ready to go as I cook.

    Haven't done this, but thought it was a great idea: Use a dry-erase marker to keep the inventory of your freezer.

    I use white medical tape for this. It never comes lose, and when I want it gone, easy cheesy. I do fold one end so I can peel it off easier.

    My toaster has little wire plates or grids that pop in a little & gently squeeze the bread holding it upright. Make sure yours doesn't have them or you will have a big mess on your hands when making grilled cheese!

    Can anyone tell me how to get paint out of a shirt? It is water cleanup paint, but the water and soap and soaking it in OxiClean did not take the paint out. If there is a way, I am sure someone on here will know about it, this board is such a wealth of information. Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
